Open vs proprietary LLMs

Because of the request to vote on the 'AI' GR I am having to think
about this subject.

Having read the various options and some of the discussion on -vote I
am surprised that none of the options we have to vote on seem to
distinguish between LLMs where we have all the parts and can run them
ourselves, and proprietary LLMs run remotely over which we have no
control, reproducibility options, security/privacy insight, etc.

For me this is the major distinction about which tools are OK to use
for free software work, and which are not. We have always made this
distrinction about free vs proprietary tooling (for building, not
necessarily code/image/document creation, admittedly), so why is there
no option in the GR letting me express this view? Did the subject not
come up?

I realise I am making this point too late to be useful, but them I'm
not on -vote so didn't know any of this was being discussed until the
vote mail arrived.

This seems like a rather major omission? But perhaps I am missing something?
